I have searched & I have found Borla listing a catback for a 1994 4runner
well dynomax makes one but its not stainless.
Are there any other companys that make a catback for the 2nd gen?
Also are there any Borla dealers on the board?
Thanks

 

No, JBA makes one that I know of, a couple people on the boards have it but I can't give you any details about the system itself.

 

Jardine makes one that I know of. I have a Borla on mine. It was expensive as heck but it's held up well. Most people just buy a good muffler and take it to a shop and have a pipe made. It's alot cheaper that way.

 

I agree buy the muffler you want and have tubes fabbed. It's cheaper!!

 

thanks for the replys
I will check out Jardine & JBA
I never use crush bent pipe for an exhaust it negates the scavenging effect

 

The "buy a muffler and have a muffler shop fab it" won't get you a mandrel bent, stainless steel, professionally engineered system.

(Another vote for the Borla cat-back)

 

LCE makes one.

This one doesn't say stainless, but I think all theirs are (call)

 

mandrel shmandrel, as long as it sounds good!

 

sound smound as longs as it performs
I think i'm going with the JBA thanks for the tip cootees

 

Actually, for something like this, mandrel bent tubing isnt going to make a damn bit of difference. If you were talking like 3 inch tubing on a turbo car pushing 20+ pounds of boost, then it would be worth the price. Here, if you had a decent muffler with crush bent tubing dyno'ed next to the borla, I bet you wouldnt even see a 2hp difference....

 

F0RSAKEN mandrel bent is always better then crush & I would bet that there is more then 3 hp difference.

What's it going to cost?

 

I found the JBA for 272.97 shipped
& the Jardine for 380+
Borla for 500+

 

well JBA has discontinued their catback for 2nd gen 4Runners

 

No doubt in my mind that mandrel bent tubing is better in any application; we're trying to squeeze just as much extra hp out of our engines as a 20psi turbo

Personally I'd just put a free-flow cat and a cheap-ish (dynomax or something similar) on it and be done with it. That should only run about $250 installed. You're not going to gain a whole heck of a lot of performance from any cat-back system; probably the same as you would with a free flow cat and new muffler. A cat-back AND a free flow cat would obviously produce more than both.


These are my opinions only- and I'll share why, whether you wanna know or not

1. I can't warrant spending lots of $$$ on an exhaust that could be ruined by 1 rock.
2. The most restrictive part of the exhaust on a 3.0 is the crossover pipe. Personally I'd start with that and upgrade the rest from there. An exhaust is only as good as its most restrive part; just like an intake.

I would go with the Borla even if just the muffler. Forget Dynomax and Magnaflow. I especially hate Flowmaster. Can't wait to get rid of the one that came on my truck.

 

Rusty you make a good point about rocks but I will always do stainless exhaust as it will not rust out.
I have an RS*R on my Integra & a Magnaflow sitting in my floor for my Civic
both are full stainless catbacks
I have to start with the catback 1st as my muffler has a hole in it.

 

Borla has discontinued the gen2 4runner exhaust

 

I just ordered the LCE catback for my 4runner its the only stainless catback still in production for 2nd Gen 4runners

 

hi all, sorry for reviving the old thread, but i think it makes sense to continue here.

Is there another cat-back system that one can still buy nowadays? the only one i find is a stock replacement, but i would love to get a throatier sound.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
